Dear Mr. Black:
Inrespollse to" your le.tter'datedF~bruary12, "1985, ,'we.".have"reviewed the
plat layout for the proposed Circle KFood Store in the southwest quad-
ra.nt at the intersection of Plantation Oaks Drive and the West Frontage
Road of SH 6.
, Altho'llghwe do not feel that we canarbitrarilydenyac.cess to our state
highways, we do consider 'safety to userso.f this facility as a primary
concern. The proposed location of 'their driveway on the 'frontage road
is within the conflict area ,.of the ramp and > frontage road traff ic. The
addition of traffic ,entering and leaving the;drivewaywould create'a
serious safety hazard, espe<liallyto the traffic. exiting the freeway.
It is definitely ourreeommendationthG1.tadriveway not be allowed at
the location indicated on th.eplatlayout sheet.
We have indicatedanalternateloc.ationforadriveway on the attached
plat layout. Thenewlocc:ttionofthisdriveway may not provide the
1l1ostdesirablelocationofadrivewayin reference to a high speed exit
ramp and frontage road intersection, but it does remove it from being
a part of the intersection area. We consider this location as a minimum
distance <that. the driveway should be moved in a southerly direction.
If you have any questions , please a.dvise.
Yours very truly,
&~r~r!~
